Horizon Zero Dawn will shift as many as 6 million copies by the end of 2017, SuperData said. Total sales could reach 8 million units, which would put it close to the most recent Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid games.

In its report, SuperData CEO Joost van Dreunen cited Horizon Zero Dawn's strong review scores from critics as an element that could help boost sales.

Finally, Dreunen said in the report that, helped by strong reviews, Horizon Zero Dawn may encourage newcomers to buy a PS4. Sony has sold around 54 million PS4s, while SuperData estimates that Microsoft's Xbox One has shifted 26 million. "The release of the game as a platform exclusive suggests that this gap will only widen as consumers flock to play Horizon Zero Dawn," he said.

Horizon Zero Dawn launches on February 28 in North America and March 1 in Europe. GameSpot's review scored it a 9/10. The game was created by Killzone studio Guerrilla Games.

In addition to strong review scores, a major marketing campaign may help Horizon Zero Dawn sell well. If you've turned on ESPN in the past week, you've surely seen an ad for the game. Ads are all over the internet, too.
